TRTMD Reviews (2026): What Patients Say, What It Really Costs, and Who It Fits

TRTMD reviews are strongly positive on both inspected Birdeye profiles: 4.9 stars each. Its broader doctor membership starts at an advertised $500 a month or $5,400 a year. It may fit readers seeking primary care and hormone care together. The catch: that isn't a complete TRT price, and TRTMD says it doesn't bill insurance.

So is it worth it? That depends on which services you'd use and what your written quote includes.

TRTMD is a strong fit if you…

  • Can use the Annapolis or Las Vegas office, or confirm telemedicine access for your location
  • Want one doctor for primary care and hormone care
  • Value the 60–90 minute initial physician review TRTMD describes
  • Can consider the advertised $5,400 annual membership, then confirm any separate required costs

Skip TRTMD if you…

  • Want a clearly priced TRT-only plan before choosing a broader doctor membership
  • Need your care billed to insurance (TRTMD says it does not bill insurance)
  • Need an in-person clinic closer than the published Annapolis or Las Vegas offices

Planning to have children soon? Read the fertility section and discuss your plans before starting testosterone.

TRT Provider Guide is the independent decision resource for testosterone replacement therapy — helping U.S. adults understand how low testosterone is evaluated, compare online and local care models and providers, and choose the next step that fits their health needs, fertility plans, budget, state, and care preferences, with every material claim verified and dated.

This page is educational information, not medical advice. It can't tell you whether you have low testosterone or whether testosterone therapy is safe for you. If you have chest pain, trouble breathing, or signs of a stroke, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

How we make money: TRT Provider Guide has affiliate relationships with other TRT providers and may earn commissions through qualifying links. Provider links in this article go directly to public provider pages without affiliate tracking. See our affiliate disclosure and How We Review TRT Providers.

If you can use one of TRTMD's clinics and the "strong fit" list sounds like you, the next step is TRTMD's consultation request. It's a contact form where you can ask about an evaluation and request a call back. TRTMD advertises a free consultation; confirm what that covers and any clinical visit or lab fees before booking.

Is TRTMD worth it? Our verdict

TRTMD can be worth it for people who will use a concierge doctor for more than testosterone, provided the proposed care and written quote fit. What's not established from its public offers is a complete current TRT-only price and the full list of what your fee would cover. That makes an itemized quote the next step before a treatment commitment.

Here's the thing a star rating can't tell you.

TRTMD's private-clinic offer is selling more than TRT. It's selling a doctor. Its own pages describe a "private clinic" membership: primary care, hormone care, heart and metabolic checkups, and direct access to a physician. The clinic describes extended appointments and a smaller patient panel; confirm what applies to your plan. TRTMD's private-clinic description

A broader doctor membership and an online hormone-care plan can cover different services. You're comparing two different products.

The honest tradeoff:

TRTMD does not publish a clear, complete TRT-only price list in the pages we checked. Its "Pricing Transparency" page has no prices on it at all. If a clear, low monthly number is your top priority, get a written TRT-only quote or compare another care route before choosing the broader membership. TRTMD's pricing page

TRTMD describes a 60–90 minute physician review after bloodwork and a membership that also covers primary care. Ask who would see you and which services are included. If you'd use that doctor relationship, compare its written quote with the care you'd otherwise pay for. If you wouldn't, keep your money. TRTMD's process

What patients love: time with the doctor, lab results explained line by line, and kind staff. What gives people pause: cost, and add-on treatments that can stack up. What we couldn't confirm publicly: which testosterone products and pharmacy a new patient would use, the clinic's fertility assessment and referral process, and the applicable cancellation terms. We built a checklist for those below.

The right TRT provider is not the same for every person — it depends on whether low testosterone has been properly evaluated, your symptoms and health history, your fertility plans, your state, your insurance or cash-pay preference, your treatment-format preference, your budget, and whether online or in-person care is the better starting point. Some situations belong with primary care, urology, endocrinology, reproductive urology, or urgent or emergency care when the symptoms warrant it. Because a general answer cannot resolve those for you, use TRT Provider Guide's Find My TRT Path tool to map your situation to the right care route and the questions to ask before you pay.

Find My TRT Path is educational and does not diagnose anything. It doesn't decide whether you qualify for treatment or guarantee a prescription.


What do TRTMD reviews actually say?

Both inspected Birdeye profiles display a 4.9-star rating, and the review excerpts include praise for long visits, detailed lab explanations, and staff. One favorable testimonial still calls TRTMD expensive. Reviews describe service experiences; they can't prove medical results or safety.

Where TRTMD reviews live, and why the numbers need context

We recorded the TRTMD ratings on the pages we could inspect on October 19, 2026. TRTMD's own website shows five different review counts on five different pages:

TRTMD review table 2: Where TRTMD reviews live, and why the numbers need context
Where you see it Rating Review count What it is
Birdeye, Maryland profile (legacy Severna Park address) 4.9 377 Imported review count displayed on October 19, 2026
Birdeye, Las Vegas profile 4.9 139 Imported review count displayed on October 19, 2026
TRTMD Annapolis TRT page 4.9 223 TRTMD's own badge

TRTMD Las Vegas private clinic page 5.0 93 TRTMD's own badge
TRTMD Las Vegas TRT page 4.9 79 TRTMD's own badge

What this tells you: TRTMD's on-site badges show different counts from Birdeye's profiles. These are different page snapshots, not a synchronized review total. Check the current profile for the clinic you plan to use. Maryland profile · Las Vegas profile

Two more things we noticed:

  • Some reviewer names cross locations. A few reviewer names appear on both the Maryland and Las Vegas Birdeye profiles. At least one review on the Maryland listing names Dr. Thussu, who practices in Las Vegas. Before you lean on a review, check which clinic and doctor it's about.
  • Birdeye isn't a second opinion. Its TRTMD profiles list zero reviews collected on Birdeye and identify the displayed reviews as imported. Don't count the mirror as a separate review sample.

We did not establish an attributable TRTMD review pattern on Trustpilot, the Better Business Bureau, or Reddit in this research.

What the review excerpts praise

Across the excerpts we read, four themes repeat:

  1. Time. Patients describe long first visits and doctors who don't rush.
  2. Lab explanations. Many mention a doctor walking through every blood test result.
  3. Staff. Front desk and patient-experience staff get named often, and warmly.
  4. Whole-health focus. Reviews mention weight, blood sugar, and cholesterol, not just testosterone.

Some patients put it simply:

"Expensive but beyond worth it." — Tim B., testimonial displayed on TRTMD's Annapolis private-clinic page; checked October 19, 2026

"…so patient and kind when I had billing questions." — UWU KittyClub, review reproduced on Birdeye's Las Vegas profile, describing the office manager; checked October 19, 2026

A Las Vegas patient said a chain clinic gave him "a T test and a sales pitch" before he switched to TRTMD. — Michael L., quote displayed on TRTMD's Las Vegas TRT page; checked October 19, 2026

Reviews describe one person's experience. They don't show typical results or prove a treatment is safe for you. The Tim B. and Michael L. excerpts are provider-hosted testimonials; we did not interview these reviewers.

What about complaints?

We did not find a repeated complaint pattern about TRTMD in the public reviews we checked. That doesn't mean complaints don't exist. Read the newest lower-rated reviews for the relevant clinic before you book. Cost appears even in a favorable testimonial.

Is TRTMD in Severna Park?

TRTMD's current Maryland address is 1 Park Place, Suite 325, Annapolis, MD 21401. The inspected Birdeye profile still lists 484 Ritchie Hwy, Severna Park and links to trtmd.com. Don't identify another listing as the same business from the "TRT MD" spelling alone. Current clinic listing


How much does TRTMD cost?

TRTMD says its private-clinic membership starts at $500 a month, or $5,400 a year, and that your final price depends on your intake and treatment plan. Those figures describe that membership, not a verified minimum or complete first-year TRT cost. Get your quote in writing.

TRTMD shows prices in four different places, and each one describes something different. Here's what those offers say and what remains unclear:

TRTMD review table 3: How much does TRTMD cost?
Price you might see Where What it covers What's still unclear
$500/month or $5,400/year ("starts at") Annapolis and Las Vegas private clinic pages Primary care, hormone care, health evaluation, direct physician access, ~90-minute visits Whether testosterone medication, add-ons, and all labs are included
$299 / $599 / $899 Concierge Wellness Plans page Core (telemedicine consult, lab review, follow-up call) · Elite (consult and labs, hormone optimization, priority scheduling) · Premium (unlimited consults, 24/7 provider access) No billing period shown (monthly? one-time?) and how these relate to the $500 membership
$350/month for a "Customized Testosterone Replacement Plan" Patient case study on TRTMD's home page (patient since June 2023) One testosterone component inside a bigger treatment stack Whether this plan exists today for new patients
No prices "Pricing Transparency" page General promise of "no hidden fees" Itemized charges and which offer applies

Provider-stated offers checked October 19, 2026: Annapolis membership, Las Vegas membership, wellness plans, case studies, and Pricing Transparency.

Your first-year math

Using only what TRTMD publishes:

  • Pay monthly at an unchanged starting rate: $500 × 12 = $6,000 in membership charges
  • Advertised annual membership: $5,400 — $600, or 10%, below 12 charges at $500

Those are the advertised starting membership charges. They are not a complete TRT total, because the reviewed offer does not establish whether your testosterone medication and every required lab or service are included.

Your written first-year total should list evaluation fees, initial and confirmatory tests, membership, medication, required follow-up visits and labs, supplies, shipping, and any other required charge. Keep optional extras separate. Add only charges that are not already included in another line, and don't count an unanswered fee as zero.

Add-ons can multiply the bill

TRTMD's own case studies show how fast extras can add up. One patient's listed plan included what TRTMD calls anti-inflammatory peptides at $2,400 a month and a customized peptide plan at $1,500 a month, on top of his $350 testosterone component. The page also lists glutathione at $200 a month. TRTMD lists his total as $14,700 over six months. Another patient's weight-loss and peptide plan is listed at $9,000 for six months.

The first example needs clarification: $2,400 + $1,500 + $350 + $200 = $4,450 a month, or $26,700 over six months if all four ran throughout that period. The published description does not reconcile that calculation with $14,700. These case studies are not a price quote for a new patient. TRTMD's published case studies

Ask which services are required for your proposed plan and which are optional. Decide your budget before your first visit, so you're choosing add-ons on purpose.

Paying for an evaluation vs. paying for treatment

These are two separate decisions:

  1. Before you book a paid visit, ask what the first visit and labs cost, and what you owe if the doctor doesn't recommend testosterone.
  2. Before you start treatment, ask for the exact medication, pharmacy, monthly cost, and contract terms in writing.

Some answers in step 2 won't exist until the doctor sees your labs. That's normal. "We'll know after your evaluation" is a fair answer. "We don't share that" is not.

Does paying monthly mean you can cancel monthly?

Not necessarily. TRTMD's Terms of Service say payments "must follow the policies communicated at booking." Its patient portal asks patients to store a card for "monthly memberships." We couldn't find written cancellation or refund terms on the public site. Ask for them before paying, especially before choosing the annual plan.

Want the real number for your situation? Ask TRTMD for an itemized quote in writing. Bring the checklist from this page.

Does TRTMD take insurance?

TRTMD's patient registration page says the practice does not bill insurance; it collects insurance details to help with referrals for outside services like labs or specialists. Keep your regular health insurance, because TRTMD says its membership is not a substitute for it.

TRTMD's wording isn't the same everywhere:

TRTMD review table 4: Does TRTMD take insurance?
TRTMD page What it says
Patient registration form "Our practice does not bill insurance"
Private clinic FAQ Explains why TRTMD doesn't accept insurance; says Medicare doesn't cover the membership fee
TRT location pages "Insurance coverage varies" and staff will help you review options

The registration page is the clearest. Treat TRTMD as cash-pay. Outside lab work or specialist visits might still go through your plan; ask. Medicare also states that it does not cover concierge membership fees.

If insurance is your deciding factor: start with an in-network primary care doctor, urologist, or endocrinologist. Ask your insurer about coverage for the exact tests, clinician and FDA-approved product. Compare your deductible, copays and any required authorization; price and visit length depend on the practice and plan.


Is TRTMD legit? Who are the doctors?

TRTMD publishes two clinic locations and named physician medical directors. Both medical directors are board-certified internal medicine physicians, according to TRTMD. Check the assigned clinician's current license and stated certifications through the relevant issuer; this research did not independently establish those credentials.

TRTMD review table 5: Is TRTMD legit? Who are the doctors?
Annapolis, MD Las Vegas, NV
Medical director Dr. Ross VanAntwerp, DO Dr. Neelesh Thussu, MD
Board certification (per TRTMD) Internal medicine; preventive medicine Internal medicine
Training (per TRTMD) DO, Michigan State University · internal medicine residency, Mt. Clemens General Hospital · clinical preventive medicine fellowship and MPH, Johns Hopkins MD, St. George's University · residency, Norwalk Hospital (Connecticut)
Background (per TRTMD) Former paramedic; emergency medicine attending, Franklin Square Hospital Center (1986–1999); 30+ years in medicine Global health work in Vietnam; shifted to preventive care during COVID-19

TRTMD identifies both as internal-medicine physicians. Internists specialize in adult medicine. Their published profiles do not identify either as a urologist or endocrinologist (a hormone specialist). It matters more if you have a complex hormone, pituitary, or fertility issue. Ross VanAntwerp's profile · Neelesh Thussu's profile

Check any TRT doctor’s credentials

Don't take any clinic's word for it. Use the issuing authority's records:

  1. Maryland license: Maryland Board of Physicians practitioner search
  2. Nevada license: Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners
  3. Board certification: check the doctor’s stated certifying board, such as the American Board of Internal Medicine or an American Osteopathic Association specialty board
  4. Certification claims: TRTMD displays LegitScript certification wording. Ask for the current issuer record rather than treating the website wording as independent verification.

Look for an active license with no public disciplinary actions.


How does TRTMD's process compare with medical guidelines?

TRTMD describes a phone call, bloodwork, then a 60–90 minute physician visit, with possible same-day treatment in its description. The Endocrine Society requires compatible symptoms or signs plus clearly and consistently low testosterone, confirmed with a repeat morning fasting total-testosterone test. The reviewed clinic pages did not establish the confirmatory-test policy, so ask how your evaluation will meet that standard.

TRTMD review table 6: How does TRTMD's process compare with medical guidelines?
Step What TRTMD describes What the Endocrine Society recommends
1 Phone call to answer questions and book Compatible symptoms or signs plus unequivocally and consistently low testosterone
2 Bloodwork covering "over 20" markers Morning fasting total testosterone (all the testosterone in your blood), using an accurate lab test
3 60–90 minute visit to review results; site describes possible same-day treatment Repeat the morning fasting total-testosterone test to confirm; evaluate the cause of confirmed deficiency
4 Follow-up visits "every 6–8 weeks at first" Assess response and adverse effects; monitor testosterone and hematocrit after treatment starts

Talk through benefits, risks, monitoring, and fertility before starting.

Sources: TRTMD's treatment page, FAQ, and the Endocrine Society guideline, checked October 19, 2026. The Society's July 2026 statement also calls for symptoms plus consistently low results and at least two early-morning fasting tests.

To be fair: TRTMD's cost articles discuss two separate morning tests. They do not establish the required confirmation protocol for your particular intake, and the service-page description does not show that testing is skipped. Ask which prior or new results meet that requirement. TRTMD's testing discussion One test result, one number, or a symptom checklist alone can't diagnose low testosterone. See do you need two low testosterone tests for TRT?

Safety checks to ask about

In February 2025, the FDA announced class-wide labeling changes for approved testosterone products. Studies found testosterone raised blood pressure across the whole product class. The FDA recommended adding results from the TRAVERSE heart-safety trial and removing boxed-warning language about increased cardiovascular risk, while retaining the limitation of use for age-related low testosterone. FDA labeling update

On June 18, 2026, FDA requested removal of that age-related limitation and changes to prostate-related warnings. Those are requested changes; check the current prescribing information for the exact drug. HHS labeling announcement

That's good news on one front. But it doesn't mean testosterone is risk-free. Ask TRTMD how often it checks:

One thing to notice: TRTMD's FAQ begins its safety answer with "Yes," then points to doctor supervision, lab monitoring, and customized care. The FDA's own labeling lists real warnings. A clinic can be careful in the exam room and still oversimplify on its website. Expect a fuller answer at your visit. TRTMD FAQ

Can you start TRT by telemedicine?

Testosterone requires a valid prescription and is a Schedule III controlled substance: a medicine the DEA regulates more tightly because it can be misused. Under the DEA's current temporary rule, DEA-registered prescribers can prescribe it after an audio-video telemedicine visit, without an in-person exam first, through December 31, 2026, as long as other legal requirements are met.

Ask how the clinic would handle a change in the rules after that date. If you start TRTMD by telemedicine, ask whether you'd need an in-person visit in 2027. Federal rule


What doesn't TRTMD's public information settle?

The public pages we reviewed did not establish a new patient's exact testosterone product, dispensing pharmacy, fertility assessment and referral process, or applicable cancellation terms. That doesn't mean anything is wrong. Clarify evaluation fees first, then obtain the proposed treatment details and contract before committing, especially to an annual plan.

We checked TRTMD against 16 care and cost questions, using How We Review TRT Providers. Here's what its public pages answer, and what they leave open:

TRTMD review table 7: What doesn't TRTMD's public information settle?
Question What TRTMD's public pages say Status
Total first-year cost Membership from $500/mo or $5,400/yr; final price depends on plan Partly answered

Refills Requested through the patient portal Partly answered
Contract, cancellation, refunds "Policies communicated at booking" Ask
Medical records Portal advertises access to records and lab results Provider-stated; confirm transfer process

A blank here means "ask," not "no." It's a list of what to get in writing, not a safety grade. The answers summarize TRTMD's service information, FAQ, portal and public intake disclosures, checked October 19, 2026.

Refills, support, and transferring records

TRTMD advertises refill requests and care-team messages through its patient portal. A request is not approval or shipment. Ask how far ahead to request refills, which labs or visits must be current, who handles delays, and how soon to expect a reply. We did not establish a guaranteed turnaround.

Its public records notice describes copies or summaries usually within 30 days and possible cost-based fees. Ask how to transfer records to another clinician. If you already receive treatment, coordinate a change of clinic with the clinicians involved. Portal information · Records notice

FDA-approved vs. compounded testosterone

This matters, and the reviewed pages do not identify the product a new patient would receive.

  • FDA-approved means the FDA reviewed that exact product for safety, effectiveness, and quality before it was sold. An approved generic is different from a compounded preparation.
  • Compounded means a drug was mixed or altered to meet a patient’s needs. The FDA does not approve compounded drugs or review them before they're sold.

FDA recommends compounded drugs only when a patient’s medical needs cannot be met by an FDA-approved drug. But you deserve to know which one you're getting. Ask for the product name, the treatment format (injection, cream, pellet, or something else), and the pharmacy. These are questions, not a list of verified TRTMD offerings. FDA on compounding

Fertility: ask before you start

Testosterone therapy can lower sperm production. The Endocrine Society advises against starting testosterone in men who plan to have children soon.

TRTMD discusses fertility in an educational article, but we did not establish its clinic-level assessment and referral process. If kids are anywhere in your next couple of years, talk to a urologist or reproductive urologist before starting testosterone. Nobody can promise your fertility will be protected or will come back on a set schedule. Learn more: Does TRT affect fertility?

Marketing claims to take with a grain of salt

These appear on TRTMD's site. They don't establish the quality of its care, and you shouldn't base your decision on them:

  • The FAQ’s safety answer begins “Yes.” It points to supervision and monitoring, while FDA labeling lists real warnings, including higher blood pressure.
  • "1 in 4 adults over 30 has clinically low testosterone." The location page does not cite a source for that statistic.
  • "Most patients see results within two weeks." The treatment page makes this claim, while its FAQ gives two to four weeks for energy, mood, and focus. Neither timeline links patient-outcome data. These are provider claims, not promises of your result.

What should you ask TRTMD before paying? The 12-question checklist

Before paying for a TRTMD evaluation, ask what the visit and labs cost and what you owe if treatment isn't recommended. Before starting treatment, get the medication, pharmacy, monthly cost, and cancellation terms in writing. Some treatment answers will wait until after your evaluation, and that's fair.

Print this, screenshot it, or keep it open during your call. Write each answer down with the date and the name of the person who gave it.

Before your first paid visit

  1. What does the first visit cost, and what's included?
  2. Which labs are included, and what do extra labs cost?
  3. Will you confirm low testosterone with a repeat morning fasting total-testosterone test before I start?
  4. If the doctor doesn't recommend testosterone, what do I owe?
  5. Which clinician will see me, and are they licensed or otherwise authorized where I will be during the visit?

Before you start treatment

  1. What exactly does the $500/month membership include? Is my testosterone medication included?
  2. Does the $350/month testosterone component in your case study correspond to a currently available TRT-only plan?
  3. Which testosterone product will I get, in what form, and is it FDA-approved or compounded?
  4. Which pharmacy fills it, or is it dispensed in the office?
  5. How would my fertility plans change treatment or referral?
  6. Is there a minimum commitment? If I pay annually and stop at month 3, what's refunded?
  7. Will any peptides, weight-loss drugs, or supplements be recommended, and what do they cost?

Check the fit: If TRTMD answers these clearly and the total fits your budget, you have a clearer basis for discussing care with the assigned clinician. If the answers stay vague, that's useful information too.

Who should see a specialist before considering testosterone?

Some situations need further clinical assessment before testosterone. That includes wanting children soon, a history of prostate or breast cancer, high hematocrit, untreated severe sleep apnea, a recent heart attack or stroke, or signs of a pituitary or testicular problem. Your clinician can decide which specialist is appropriate.

The Endocrine Society's guideline recommends against starting testosterone with near-term fertility plans, current prostate or breast cancer, high hematocrit, untreated severe sleep apnea, or a heart attack or stroke within the past six months. A history of cancer or signs of a pituitary problem also need individual assessment:

  • Plans to have a child soon: see a urologist or reproductive urologist first
  • Prostate or breast cancer, now or in the past
  • High hematocrit (a high proportion of red blood cells)
  • Untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea
  • A heart attack or stroke within the past six months
  • Very low testosterone with headaches, vision changes, or other signs of a pituitary problem

None of this is a do-it-yourself checklist. A clinician needs to look at your full history. For more, see TRT safety and conditions to discuss with a clinician.

About women's care: TRTMD also treats women. This page covers testosterone therapy for adult men. Women's hormone care follows different medical standards and isn't covered here.

Provider-stated offers checked October 19, 2026: TRTMD membership, Male Excel prices, its $99 consultation/test offer and terms, Hone Plus, Hone's care and billing description, Taurus's $49 offer and homepage. These are offer comparisons, not verified personal quotes or a ranking of medical care.

The math and its limits: Male Excel's injection subtotal is $99 + (12 × $99) + (6 × $240) = $2,727. Its cream subtotal is $99 + (12 × $99) + (6 × $264) = $2,871. Both use six advertised 60-day medication supplies: 360 days, so another refill charge can fall within a full 365-day year. The initial $99 offer includes the home test and consultation; treatment shipping and any additional required testing still need a quote.

Hone's model is $45 + ($45 or $80) + (12 × $135) = $1,710–$1,745, before medication; its Plus page says follow-up labs, consultations, and shipping are included. Taurus's model is $49 + (12 × $149) = $1,837 under that offer. Ask Taurus whether repeat tests, monitoring, supplies, and shipping are covered. These examples assume unchanged advertised rates and the listed number of payments; they do not establish a minimum commitment.

Taurus's general terms also list a $17.99 membership fee per billing period, unless the purchase terms say otherwise. They say cancellations take effect at the end of the paid term and list refund limits for blood tests and shipped medication. Confirm which terms apply to the advertised no-membership-fee offer; do not assume that “per billing period” means monthly.

What the difference buys you: TRTMD advertises in-person visits, longer appointments, and a doctor who also handles your colds, blood pressure, and annual physical. Its published membership charges are about $2,700–$3,300 more than Male Excel's injection subtotal. That subtraction compares different services and incomplete cost figures; it is not verified savings. Compare the written total with the care you'd otherwise pay for.

Consider TRTMD if you…

  • Want a doctor in the room, not on a screen
  • Have weight, blood sugar, or heart-health goals and would use the primary care
  • Don't currently have a doctor you trust

Compare a narrower care plan if you…

  • Only want testosterone managed and monitored
  • Are comfortable with video visits and mail-order care
  • Want your monthly cost under about $250, and can confirm the full bill fits

If you want an in-person doctor and can budget for it, TRTMD's published model may fit. Ask about appointment availability at TRTMD's Annapolis or Las Vegas clinic →

What are the alternatives if TRTMD isn't your fit?

If TRTMD is too expensive or too far away, compare online hormone care with an in-network local doctor. Your best alternative depends on the care you need, your state, and the full cost after coverage or required fees. Fertility plans may point to a specialist before testosterone.

TRTMD review table 10: What are the alternatives if TRTMD isn't your fit?
If you… Consider Why (from each provider's own pages) Watch out for
Want online TRT with posted prices and ongoing access Male Excel Published consultation, membership, and medication fees; unlimited support-team messaging and e-visits with a medical provider; FSA/HSA eligible; advertises "no contract, cancel anytime" Listed testosterone plans pair it with thyroid tablets, so ask why if you've never been diagnosed with a thyroid problem; confirm the exact product and pharmacy, additional charges, and refund terms
Want membership-based online care with medication billed separately Hone Health: Plus Clinician visits and monitoring through a $135 monthly membership; follow-up labs and consultations included, per Hone Membership doesn't include your prescription; starting tests cost extra
Want to compare Taurus's online offer Taurus Meds Its homepage advertises a free initial testosterone test; a separate offer lists $49 for testing and consultation, then $149/mo for medication if prescribed Confirm which offer applies, required repeat testing, exact product, full cost, and refund terms; broad medication claims do not verify your product's approval status
Have good insurance and a doctor you like Your primary care doctor, a urologist, or an endocrinologist Your plan may cover evaluation, testing, and an FDA-approved product when its criteria are met Confirm the clinician, lab, exact product, prior authorization, and your share of the bill
Want kids in the next year or two A urologist or reproductive urologist Testosterone can suppress sperm production Have this conversation before starting any TRT

Online availability varies by state. A questionnaire, payment, or consultation does not guarantee a prescription. These options use the dated source links in the comparison above; fertility guidance comes from the Endocrine Society.

If posted online fees are your main reason for ruling out TRTMD, Male Excel gives you figures to compare. Its pricing page discusses compounded preparations, and its terms say prescriptions cannot be sent to a different pharmacy. Ask for the exact proposed product, its approval status, the pharmacy, and why any thyroid medicine is included. If in-person visits and primary care were the reasons you looked at TRTMD, a local doctor may suit you better.

For the current offer details, read Male Excel's published prices and terms, Hone's membership comparison, or Taurus's published offer. Taurus's offer page also contains confusing product descriptions and a reference to another provider's program; get clear written answers before relying on it.

How did we research TRTMD?

We reviewed TRTMD's public service, price, physician, and patient-information pages, the two Birdeye profiles, and official sources for the medical and legal claims. We compared published offers and recalculated the amounts shown here. We were not treated at TRTMD and did not test its service as patients.

What we actually verified

Date checked: October 19, 2026

Sources we read: TRTMD's home, TRT, Annapolis, Las Vegas, private clinic, Concierge Wellness Plans, Pricing Transparency, telemedicine, FAQ, new patient, physician, and Terms of Service pages; its cost and HRT articles; patient portal information, welcome, and registration pages; both Birdeye profiles; official FDA, DEA, HHS, Medicare, and Endocrine Society sources; and Male Excel's, Hone Health's, and Taurus Meds' official offers and applicable disclosures linked here.

Confirmed as published on official pages: both clinic addresses; the $500/month and $5,400/year membership starting prices; the $299/$599/$899 wellness plan cards; the $350/month case-study component; the insurance non-billing statement; the on-site Quest blood draw in Annapolis; portal refills and records access; the 60–90 minute visit description; and the alternative providers' fees shown here. We checked the arithmetic separately.

Provider statements we did not independently confirm in practice: physician credentials and current licenses, visit length, access and response times, lab arrangements, and patient counts. The posted review numbers are page snapshots, not a count of unique patients or verified outcomes.

Not established from the public sources reviewed: the exact testosterone product and pharmacy a new TRTMD patient would use; its FDA-approved or compounded status; the clinic-level fertility assessment and referral process; applicable contract, cancellation, and refund terms; a complete current TRT-only price; the full list of telemedicine states; and every required first-year charge.

Not done: We didn't enroll, visit, or contact TRTMD's support line. No doctor reviewed this page.

TRTMD reviews: frequently asked questions

TRTMD's public pages answer the basic questions about its membership, doctors, and offices. A written quote and clinical evaluation still need to settle your required tests, treatment, total price, and terms.

Is TRTMD legit?

TRTMD publishes two clinic locations and named physician medical directors, and displays LegitScript certification wording. Each inspected Birdeye profile shows 4.9 stars; the counts are not a verified total of unique patients. Check each doctor's current license and the issuer's certification record rather than treating a website claim as independent proof.

How much does TRTMD cost per month?

TRTMD's private-clinic membership starts at $500 a month, or $5,400 a year paid annually, and the final price depends on your plan. A case study lists a $350/month testosterone component, but that does not establish a complete current TRT-only price. Ask for an itemized quote before paying.

Is TRTMD's $500 a month all-inclusive?

The reviewed membership offer does not establish a complete all-inclusive TRT bill. Its pages describe primary care, hormone care, and physician access, but don't state whether testosterone medication, every lab, or add-ons are included. Get that in writing.

Does TRTMD accept insurance?

No. TRTMD's registration page says the practice does not bill insurance. It collects insurance details to help refer you for outside labs or specialists. Medicare also says it does not cover concierge membership fees.

Can I do TRTMD by telemedicine?

TRTMD advertises telemedicine for new and existing patients and names Maryland and Nevada. Through December 31, 2026, the temporary federal rule permits DEA-registered practitioners to prescribe testosterone after an audio-video visit without a prior in-person exam when its requirements and other applicable laws are met. Confirm your assigned clinician's authorization where you will be and the plan if rules change.

Does TRTMD test testosterone twice before starting treatment?

Its cost articles discuss two separate morning tests, but the reviewed material did not establish the required protocol for your intake. Its service page describes bloodwork, then a long physician visit with possible same-day treatment. The Endocrine Society recommends confirming low testosterone with a repeat morning fasting total-testosterone test, so ask which results your clinician will require.

What kind of testosterone does TRTMD use?

The reviewed pages do not identify the exact product a new patient would receive or its FDA-approved or compounded status. Ask for the product name, form, and dispensing pharmacy before starting.

Will TRT affect my fertility?

It can. Testosterone therapy can lower sperm production, and the Endocrine Society advises against starting it in men who plan to have children soon. See a urologist or reproductive urologist first if that's you.

Where is TRTMD located? Is it in Severna Park?

TRTMD's clinics are at 1 Park Place, Suite 325, Annapolis, MD, and 1215 S. Fort Apache Rd, Suite 230, Las Vegas, NV. The inspected Birdeye listing still shows 484 Ritchie Hwy in Severna Park; TRTMD's current site lists Annapolis.

Who are the doctors at TRTMD?

Dr. Ross VanAntwerp, DO, is medical director in Annapolis. Dr. Neelesh Thussu, MD, is medical director in Las Vegas. Both are board-certified in internal medicine, according to TRTMD.

Can I cancel TRTMD anytime?

We couldn't find published cancellation or refund terms. TRTMD's Terms of Service say payment follows "the policies communicated at booking." Get those policies in writing, especially before choosing the $5,400 annual option.

What's a cheaper alternative to TRTMD?

Male Excel's injection offer gives an illustrative $2,727 subtotal before treatment shipping and any additional required charges. It uses 12 membership payments and six 60-day medication supplies, so it does not establish a full first-year bill. Compare written online quotes with your share of in-network local care, including testing, follow-up, and the prescribed product.

Is concierge TRT worth it?

It can be worth it if you'll actually use the doctor relationship: long visits, primary care, and help with weight, blood pressure, or blood sugar—and the full quote fits your budget. If you only want testosterone prescribed and monitored, compare a narrower online plan or your own doctor's care before paying for a broader membership.
